Objectives: Swamp eel is one model species for sexual reversion and an aquaculture fish in China. One local strain with deep yellow and big spots of Monopterus albus has been selected for consecutive ...

All the specimens were used for simultaneous sequencing the 12S-rRNA and the control region fragment (right domain). Samples were kept frozen at −20°C until their tissues had been removed and then the ...

image: A workflow depicting the process of SSR discovery, DNA amplification, and read mapping. Once SSRs have been identified and mapped, that information can be exported as a SAM to SSRgenotyper to ...

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are regions of DNA with high diversity, and they have long been a mainstay for botanists examining the genetic structure of plant populations. However, as the cost of ...

First direct analysis of pathogenic sequence repeats in the human genome. Expansions of DNA repeats are very hard to analyze. A method developed by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for ...

Expanded repetitive sequences are infamous for causing inherited disease. Think poly-Q tracts that cause Huntington’s or the C9orf72 hexanucleotide run-ons that trigger ALS/FTD. However, given people ...
